House Bill 322 signed by Governer Jay Nixon allows motor vehicle operators to show proof of automobile insurance using a mobile electronic device.

"Each day, more and more Missourians are using their smart phones and tablets to pay bills, get directions and access the information they need, wherever and whenever they need it," Gov. Nixon said. "With these advancements in technology, forcing Missourians to go through the hassle of printing and keeping hard copies of their insurance cards is unnecessary and burdensome. This common sense legislation will make life a little easier for motorists by eliminating this outdated requirement and allowing proof of insurance to be shown on a mobile device."

In addition to using electronic devices to show proof of automobile insurance, House Bill 322 allows insurance companies to deliver the policies to their policyholders by electronic means. Consumers will benefit by having electronic copies that can be easily saved and accessed at any time.
